The Sun Herald | 09/18/2006 | Round Island's future up for debate: "PASCAGOULA - No one is giving up on Round Island, its beach erosion and toppled lighthouse... yet.
But storm after storm has beaten down efforts, and Katrina dealt a disheartening blow by wiping out all the years of previous work by the city, county and FEMA. There's even talk about moving the lighthouse to the mainland, a 2 1/2-mile trip.
'For now we're just going to give up,' said Steve Oivanki, formerly with Compton Engineering, the company that worked on the projects for the county. 'The storms are too frequent.'"
